DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

PSU-1 has been engineered with the best quality audio-
grade components to enhance the performance of PH-1
and improve your system even further: with the dedicated
external power supply you will get the very best music
experience out of your LPs.
For PSU-1 we have chosen a dual choke design powered
by a double inductor driving the negative and positive high
current stages and featuring an inductive filter on the
analogue stage.
The PSU-1 is a super inductive and chokes power supply designed exclusively for the PH-1 phono stage.
MAIN FEATURES
Dual Mono Inductive power supply
Ultra low noise voltage regulator
+/- 14V for analog with inductive noise remover
Line regulation for all output 0,05 %/V
Load regulation for all output 0,05 %Vu
Line noise rejection >80dB
Common mode noise rejection >80dB
Full power response time <3usec
The Gold Note proprietary Chokes Design perfectly filters
the signal voltages in order to eliminate all the possible
electrical pollution coming from the AC power system.
The PSU-1 uses its massive power supply to effectively
shield the PH-1 phono stage from electro-magnetic
interferences thus insulating it effectively from the AC
power system.
The large, ultra-clean power enhances super low noise,
greater dynamic, better resolution and finer details for a
more realistic high-end audio performance and pure audio
pleasure.

HOW TO POSITION PSU-10 E PH-10
PSU-1 is designed to work in "slave mode" with PH-1 so you only need to turn on the MASTER SWITCH ON on the PSU-1 to
control the PH-10 once the supplied umbilical cable has been used to connect both units.
PSU-1 can be left always ON except when not it’s not being used for long periods of time.
QUICK START
To get the best benefit from PSU-1 & PH-1 it would be important positioning the units at least some centimeters away from each
other.
